Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 9, 1906.

Application filed August 29, 1905. Serial No. 276.197.

l .To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN Hlnsn, a

i citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and Sptate of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trousers, of which the following is a' specification.

My invention Vrelates to trousers, and more particularly to what is termed cuff or turn-up trousers. g Heretofore trousers of this t e, owing to their construction, had to bema e perfectly straight at the bottom and could not be made to t the instep. In trousers made with a straight turn-up the front of the trousers buckle u when the rear is properlyiitted or the rear o the trousers are too short when drawn up to lit at the front.

The object of my invention is the production of turn-up or cuif trousers which are shaped to fit the instep while maintaining the proper length at the sides and rear and in which a great saving of cloth results from the particular construction of the cuif.

Another object is to so construct the trousers that they may be shortened by merely lifting the turned-up ortion and reressing.

In the drawings, igure 1 is a si e .elevation of the lower part of a trouser-leg embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a view4 of thel material before being sewed together,

showing the shape of the bottom and the V-` notch in the turned-in portion, whereby the desired shape ,is obtained. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a trouser-leg before formmg the cuff.. Fig. 4 is a lon 'tudinal section ta en on linel z z, Fig. 1, s owing the construction of the cuff. Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectionalview through the cuff portion.

In the drawings the lower end of one trolil ser-lefg onl is shown, it being thought unnecessary to s ow complete trousers or to duplicate the leg shown. The lower endof the trouser-leg 1 is turned in at A2, and in this turned-in portion is cut a V-notch 3, which permits of shaping the trousers to fit overthe instep while'retaming the proper length at the heel of the wearer. The trouser-legs` are doubled upon' themselves or folded up a short distance above the lower edge, as at 4, v

the exact line of the fold being determined by `considerable saving in material.

the Width of the 'cuff desired. The fold is made along a line conforming to the bottom i v In the turn-up or'cuf'f trousers now in use the cloth is turned in on a perfectly-straight line and then turned out to expose the turnedin portion. The V-notch necessary to shape the trousers properly must therefore be dis-` pensed with, which results in the production of ill-fitting trousers. Considerable more material is required for. the trousers so made than is necessary in trousers embodying my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. Trousers having thelower end of each` leg .turned-in and the turned-in portion provided with a notch whereby the trousers are sha ed to fit over the instep of the wearer, eacg leg being folded u on itself to form a cuff having the lower' e ge of the turned-in portion formin the bottom ed e of the leg, said fold or dou ledup portionei tacked to the unfolded portion of the leg of t e trousers. 4

2. Trousers,having the lower end of each leg turned-in and provided with a fold a short distance above its turned-in end to form a cuff having the lower edge of the turned-in ortion fo thebottom of the le said' old or doubley p' portion being tac ed to the unfolded portion ofthe leg of the-trou sers.

In 5testimony whereof Ihave affixed my signature in the 'presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
